# LLM Temperature
Temperature is a physical property that measures the degree of hotness or coldness of an object or substance. In the context of Large Language Models (LLMs), temperature is a hyperparameter used during the generation of text. A lower temperature value makes the output more deterministic and less likely to explore different possibilities, while a higher temperature value makes the output more exploratory and more likely to generate diverse responses.
**LLM Temperature:**
* *Input Field Type:* Numeric Input
* *Description:* LLM Temperature determines the degree of randomness or creativity in the agent's responses, controlling the diversity and variability of generated text.
* *Usage:* Adjust the LLM Temperature to regulate the level of novelty and spontaneity in the agent's output. Higher temperatures encourage more exploratory and diverse responses, while lower temperatures prioritize coherence and relevance.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.aicrisk.com/admin/ai-agents/adding-a-new-agent/advanced-settings/usage/llm-temperature.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
